took the corresponding legal oath


Explanation:
This refers to the graduation ceremony, which, in some post-graduate faculties with not many students (only a few graduate each year), takes place around a table with a Bible upon it; the Dean, in the presence of the Rector, confers the mortarboard upon each of the new graduates and afterwards they pronounce the formula of the oath all together.
